More seeds! More seedlings!

All my seeds arrived!!  It was a very exciting package to receive.  At first, I was a bit surprised to see the coriander and a bit sad to not see any cilantro. Then I learned that coriander is cilantro.  My mind was blown.



I consulted my plan and started some more seeds.  I started the eggplant, cabbage, broccoli, tomatoes, squash, zucchini, bell peppers and cucumber (4 pods of each).  Pictured below, in row 1, columns 1-4 are the eggplant (which are slow bloomers). In column 5, rows 1 through 4 are the cabbage. In row 5, columns 2 through 5 are broccoli.  Row 1, columns 2 through 5 are the hot peppers (which have finally sprouted!!) In the center are the currant tomatos, crowder peas and okra (in rows from left to right).  Did you follow that? The plum tomatos, squash, zucchini, peppers and cucumbers are in different boxes.


There have been two fatalities on the farm.  One artichoke and one brussel sprout.  The artichoke may or may not be dead, but he looks pretty sad.  The bussel is a goner.  But life must go on. 


The winner so far has been this crowder pea.  I don't even know what a crowder pea is, but this thing has been growing like crazy!  Almost an inch a day!  


Below, on the left, are the okra.  They seem to be doing quite nicely.  On the right, from the front, is a squash, a zucch and cuke, all of which were transfered today.  


Finally, my friend Brad started too many beefsteak tomato plants, so he gave me 4 seedlings. Success!

And the mushroom log just looks moldy :(
